Jodie Foster sells Beverly Hills estate for $8.3 million

Actress-producer Jodie Foster has sold her gated Beverly Hills estate for $8.3 million, public records show.

Climbing roses and red brick accents give the seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom compound an East Coast vibe. The listing described the style as Cape Cod and Connecticut. On nearly an acre, the compound contains the 1949 main house, a two-bedroom guesthouse, a tennis court and a swimming pool. No panic room, however — to borrow the title of her 2002 film.

Foster, 49, stars in the recently released film "Carnage." She also starred in and directed "The Beaver" last year. The actress won her Oscars for roles in "The Accused" (1988) and "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991). Other films for which she is known include "Contact" (1997) and "Taxi Driver" (1976).

The property came on the market in April at $9.975 million and closed quietly in the fall. The property previously sold in 2005. It was listed then for $10.5 million.
